AFT Connecticut President Jan Hochadel is joined by Jessica Harris, an affiliated local union leader and healthcare professional, for a timely discussion ahead of the General Assembly's 2020 legislative session. Together they co-host an episode focused on how non-profit hospitals — and the health networks that operate them — impact state and local budgets.
Joining them to answer union members' questions and offer a lawmakers' perspective is state Rep. Sean Scanlon, the House chair of the legislature's insurance and real estate committee. He helps connect the dots between tax-exempt health facilities and Connecticut's struggling cities, as well as industry consolidation and inconsistent access to quality care.
AFT Connecticut's podcasts serve to provide a deeper dive into issues impacting members and the wider labor movement as part of the state federation’s engagement and communications programs.
